Nottingham: Home to the prince of thieves

You don’t have to be a fan or even familiar with the legend of Robin Hood to appreciate all there is to do and see in Nottingham. First of all in my book is the great news that it’s only eighty miles from the Medusa Juice store in King’s Lynn and only eighty-four from the shop in Peterborough. At either one of these can be a wonderful day trip out where you can also get all of your favourite e-liquids, gear and clothing from Medusa Juice. Nottingham is has an important history in lace making, the tobacco industry and bicycles (Raleigh). It received its City Charter as part of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 1897.

Fortune favours the brave

Nottingham also has an award-winning public transportation system. Which includes the largest publicly-owned bus network in England. The city itself predates Anglo-Saxon times and was formerly known as Tigguo Cobauc, which in Welsh means ‘place of caves’. Nottingham Castle was constructed in 1068. Built on a sandstone outcrop by the River Leen. When King Richard returned from the Crusades, the Castle was inhabited by supporters of Prince John, which included the Sheriff of Nottingham. A great deal of Nottinham’s prosperity is owed to the textile industry, including the making of fine lace. Although today, the area known for lace making has been changed to accommodate other things and is also part of the city’s tourism.
